Looking To Increase Performance & Add Protection? Have Your Smoke Chamber Parged Smooth!

Every time you enjoy a fire in your fireplace, your smoke chamber, which is located just above the firebox, is bombarded with heat, gas, and other byproducts of combustion. All of these things can take a toll on the smoke chamber itself, making it less effective at performing its main job which is to swiftly send those byproducts up into the chimney flue and out of the home.

Many smoke chambers are also built with corbelled steps which makes resistance even greater, and results in the heat and gases of combustion spending even more time in the smoke chamber. As a result, the smoke chamber can develop cracks and holes that continue to negatively impact the efficiency of the system and allow heat and dangerous gases to access nearby areas of the home.

If your smoke chamber is in disrepair and negatively impacting the efficiency and safety of your chimney system, we can help! We provide professional smoke chamber parging services, which can help strengthen the area and provide a smoother surface that’s more conducive to air flow.

Why Parge Smooth?

Boost Efficiency – Parging your smoke chamber smooth can help increase the performance of your chimney system as a whole. Think about it: the smoother the surface, the more steadily and efficiently byproducts can flow up and out of the chimney. When smoke and byproducts linger in the smoke chamber, creosote is deposited, so the more swiftly the system expels byproducts, the better!

Boost Safety – Another reason for having your smoke chamber parged smooth is that you’ll enjoy a safer chimney system. If your smoke chamber is riddled with holes and cracks, smoke, gas, and high heat can access nearby combustibles and enter the air supply. By parging and sealing these holes and cracks, you can reduce your risk of house fire and carbon monoxide poisoning in one fell swoop.
